OFFICIAL Vistana *2021* Maintenance Fees Thread

[controller1]

Westin Aventuras increased the reserves by 7% (post #14). While the text does not specify delinquencies, I just do see other reasons to increase them by so much. Let's keep in mind that the peso is down 20% and a lot of the resort expenses should be a lot lower.

Here is some info on bad debt expense for Westin Flex for the budget years of 2019, 2020 and 2021.

It is odd the Aventuras fees are not lower next year. I assume that many expenses are in Mexican pesos and the local currency is down 20%. The resorts were closed for 2-3 months and even now they function at a reduced capacity.

Just wondering where Adventuras is. I am familiar with Laguna Mar Thank you

Is the Westin Cancun not included?

It's not listed as an Adventuras resort. I imagine it will be added if it hasn't already been.

[DavidnRobin]

When performing % calculations - it is best not to include VSN fee as not everyone pays a VSN fee, or they only pay for only part of the VSN fee.

We do not pay VSN fee for WKV as it is paid for our WKORV (1st) and WSJ (2nd) villas.

As enchino confirms, WKV increased by 1.51% (not bad - I expected higher).

Is anybody else’s VSN Dashboard E-Statements page not showing any historical data this year? All of my ownerships are showing no e-statements so I can’t actually see the breakdown.

It is there - just hard to see link. It is a blue link right under current year. It goes back 2 years. That is how I added 2020 and 2019 amounts.

That’s exactly what I’m seeing. They must’ve broken something.

Dashboard > Select VOI to View > Pay Now > Dark Blue Link under “Prior Balance Due” that states “View Prior Year Balance Detail” > Toggle Year

All my VOIs have this whether due or not. Always been this way. Time for Provigen? LOL

Hard to see Dark Blue Link is below Prior Balance Due

Your screenshots are not an "e-statement." They're just a webpage showing a high-level breakdown of costs. They don't show all the information the e-statement contains. Not to mention, a web page listing an arbitrary "balance due" doesn't legally qualify as notice of a debt.

So yes, again, while I can see a "balance due" I have not received any "e-statements." The e-statements feature worked in August, but no longer works in November. I would send a message to Vistana but "Contact Us" doesn't work either.

Vistana IT for the win.

Sorry - I didn’t know you wanted e-statement year over year.
I have never seen previous ones online, but I do keep them when they are sent.

I have all mine saved -- electronically -- as well. Do they send paper copies in the mail? I usually trash most Vistana mail... might have to change that this year.

Question on the VSN fees. Do I pay per timeshare contract or per vistana account. I own two properties. Nanae and kierland. I saw today that VSN fees are due on both. I want to know if this is correct.

Thanks Mark

You pay on the first two properties you own. The first at full price and the second at a lesser rate assuming both properties are in the same Vistana account.

They didn't add your middle name. Your middle name is on the deed to one of your properties but not on the other. Multiple properties don't go into the same account unless names on the deeds match in all respects.

The same problem occurs when both spouses are not on all of the deeds, when children are on some deeds, or some properties are held in a trust and others are not.
